Ben Lee

CEO and Co-founder of Neon Roots

Ben Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Neon Roots, a digital development agency with a mission to destroy the development model and rebuild it from the ground up. After a brief correspondence with Fidel Castro at age nine, Ben decided to start doing things his own way, going from busboy to club manager at a world-class nightclub before he turned 18. Since then, Ben has founded or taken a leading role in 5 businesses in everything from software development to food and entertainment.

At Neon Roots, we’re Los Angeles mobile app developers. That gives us the opportunity to work on a lot of different apps that look to solve a lot of different problems. Usually those problems are fairly specific and sometimes they simply exist to solve the worldwide pandemic of mass boredom. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that technology can make a difference, that it can be a catalyst for change and a channel for good deeds. That’s what the Share Your Share app is all about.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
– Winston Churchill

The mission of Share Your Share is incredibly simple, but it’s also incredibly important: help people donate to charity. This nonprofit organization is doing that through an online platform that allows anyone to donate to multiple charities from a single location. It’s being made even simpler by allowing users to donate from a mobile device.

It’s bringing philanthropy to a wider audience and changing how people think about giving. Charity doesn’t have to just come from the wealthy cutting big checks once a year. It can occur on a smaller, more frequent scale. The Share Your Share app brings a social element to giving. Not only can you give, you can let your friends know the important causes you support, and maybe they’ll be inspired to jump on board, too. You’re doing your own part to make the world a better place, on a degree that works for you.

The Share Your Share app is now available for FREE and can be downloaded through iTunes. You can check it out HERE.

Those that have used the app already have great things to say:

“I love this app! What a great way to pay it forward. This is an Eco friendly and sustainable means to share your “care” for one another and our beautiful planet!”

“Great app! I have been looking for a way to do micro donations to my favorite charities! This is brilliant! And super fun!”

“Great app! Very user friendly and great for becoming part of the philanthropic community.”

The charities that you can support through the app have all been handpicked and highly-rated by third-party charity evaluators.
